As This post is written, a war exists on Terra between Russia and the sovereign State of Ukraine. The unprovoked war was started by Russia, at the sole direction of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. It is currently beginning its fourth week.
Many people ask why would “God”, or any other being of authority, allow a war like this to happen? Why would we allow the suffering and deaths of innocent civilians to occur? Will we allow the use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons?
The true answer is that, like many events in Life, it is a very complicated situation, in every respect.
That this war was to happen has been known for a long time – centuries, if not eons of Time. It has been incorporated into the Life paths of all of the Souls that are involved in it, even if only peripherally. Even the Souls from countries that are not direct active participants in the war have had the war and its effects incorporated into their Soul Contracts, initially as a possibility that would require it to be planned for, and then later (for younger Souls) as an integral parts of the lessons that they are to learn in their current incarnation.
I hear often, even from some of the incarnate Souls from the Central Sun, why would a Soul choose to go through any of this kind of event? This question is not as complicated as it may seem, although it does require a multi-part answer. First, it is an opportunity to learn, and grow; the decisions that are made, either because of the direct action of the combatants, or due to the economic/social impact of the events, provides an ability (and to a degree an incentive) to grow by allow one to make decisions that may be more beneficial for the longer term growth of their Soul. For instance, incarnate Souls in the world have an opportunity to provide resources (food, shelter, clothing, and transportation) to those who are escaping from the conflict, to the degree that they are able. Other Souls, with the proper background and expertise, might choose to become more directly involved by fighting on the side of one of the combatants. Each of these possibilities provides for the accumulation or resolution of Karma, and growth of the Soul, simply because the Soul must make a decision. And all of these possible outcomes are included in the tree that defines the Soul Contract of each individual Soul.
Second, it provides an opportunity for Souls to heal unresolved Karma from the past (e.g., past lives). Most Souls are generally unaware of what Karma they carry from one life to another, so when they develop their Soul Contract, they try to include situations that may provide for (or allow) for as much Karma to be resolved as possible. Wars, such as the current one, can certainly provide vast opportunities for resolving Karma, in large part because of the highly dynamic nature of the events, the number of people that typically get involved, and the wide variety of situations that can be encountered at any of the levels that the war is occurring on or influencing. As an example, a soldier may be provided an opportunity to terminate the Life of a family by launching a weapon, as he has been commanded to do by his superiors. But he also has the opportunity to spare their Life by misdirecting the fire, by delaying the fire until the threat to others may be no longer, or by choosing to not follow the order entirely. Each element of this decision “tree” will have a different set of consequences, not only for the soldier, but for those that may be targeted. And there is always the possibility that his actions could result in the death of a dear friend(s) of theirs, which might cause them to suffer immense grief due to their actions.
Third, what if much of the war could be brought to an end sooner (or even not occur at all)? In most cases, the only realistic means to accomplish this would be by stopping the instigator of the war in the first place. In this case, that would be the President of Russia, Mr. Putin. And there are many who ask why somebody can not just cause the death of Mr. Putin in order to stop his Armies.
While bringing the incarnation of Mr. Putin to an abrupt end, it may not necessarily bring an end to the war. Mr. Putin clearly has a large following in his own country (and in several others, even though much of it may be based on misinformation), and should he no longer be a factor, there is no certainty that the one that would come to replace him would make decisions differently. But there is a larger concern: who has looked at the collective Karma of those involved in this war to see if this war is providing an opportunity for Mr. Putin to resolve his own Karmic imbalances? Clearly, there are Souls from the Central Sun that have looked into his Soul Contract, as well as the Soul contracts of all of those involved in the conflict (directly or indirectly). What we can say is that at this point, there has been no significant activity that is contrary to the goals of the Soul Contract for any involved Soul (but keep in mind that up to seven deviations from the primary path of a Soul Contract may be made).
What we can say is that we are closely watching the developments, and the actions being taken by all involved. There are actions that are underway in the background, but we are unwilling to say what those actions consist of (in order to preserve Free Will). But there are efforts being made to bring about the end of this war.
